Month Zhuang Levin Fossil Sites After A Preliminary Study Of The Products

Yuezhuang site is situated at the east of the Yuezhuang village, Guide town, Changqing county, Jinan city, Shandong province. The site was discovered in the late 1980s when we widely searched for relics throughout the country. Subsequently, we have excavated the site three times at all(according to the situation now,the cultrural intension of Zhangguan site and Yuezhuang site is very similar,so they should be seen as the same site.In this article,they are all called as Yuezhuang site ). The materials that we would utilize in the dissertation are those discovered at the third time.At this time, we have discovered lots of remains and artifacts, among those there are many stonewares . The preservative situation of the stone wares is very bad and most of them are out of repair. So it is difficult to analyze the stone wares' shape. On the base of tidying the materials , I would attempt to do elementary analysis to the stone artifacts. During the course of the analysis, besides traditional way of typology and the analysis way of the cultural factor, I would adopt the method of use-wear analysis and residue analysis.After classifying and tidying the data, I have widely compared Yuezhuang site with other sites in the same culture and with other cultures in the same age. So we can approximately ascertain the site's relative age. The area I belongs to the late stage of Houli Culture, while the part Ⅱ maybe enter Beixin Culture. The factor of the native Houli Culture predominated in the stone wares in the early stage of Yuezhuang site, For example, typical stone protrusive feet of Houli Culture and metates without feet account for high proportion, etc. As to few metates with feet, we couldn't find out the clue to its native origin after seeing about the developing sequence in the site and comparing with other early sites of Houli Culture. So we consider that it is most likely to be affected by the cultural circle of metates with feet in the west. All in all, the founder of Yuezhuang site is the people of Houli Culture, but during the course of development, intercommunication had take place between Yuezhuang site and Peiligang Culture. Therefore it is the condition that we can see in Yuezhuang site now. As for the manufacture of the stone wares, we may know the process that the people of Yuezhuang site manufactured stone tools. It is a kind of active adaption to circumstances that the people of Yuezhuang site used these stone tools, the rarity of metates and the difficultity of manufacturing metates can be manifested by the highproportion of using the metates' two surfaces. For decreasing the consuming of metates, the people of Yuezhuang site had to use metates' two surfaces. However, the use of manos is more casual, which is relative to abundant rock in this area. As to the adzes, whose function and using pattern is not assumed by their shape, but is concluded by use-wear analysis .The discrimination between use-wear and polish trace can be found by the use-wear analysis, which is a very important question in studying the microwear of ground stone. So the conclusion of this use-wear analysis bears data-base meaning .To wear management, though we haven't found the special tools in this excavation, this issue theoretically exists in the course of metates usage, which should be found and verified in the future. The article will be divided into six parts:In the first part, I will summarize the whole situation of the site, including the site's geographical location, the former survey and excavation. And the third excavation will be emphatically discussed.In the second part, the present research condition of the stone artifacts of Neolithic culture will be introduced, and the research method and procedure will be explained.In the third part, I will do stone artifacts' typological analysis, and get some elementary conclusion.In the fourth part, I will study these stone artifacts with the method of use-wear analysis and residue analysis. We can exactly prove their function with scientific proof.In the fifth part, through comparing with other sites of the same culture and other cultures in the same age, we can comprehensively master the character of Yuezhuang site.The sixth part is epilogue, periodic conclusion can be drawn out after above analysis and research.
